Custom jersey is size XL. Everything sewn on. Hand-signed and inscribed by Jonny Gomes.Throughout the 2013 World Championship season; the Red Sox players and organization formed a close association with the city of Boston and its people in relation to the Boston Marathon Bombing that occurred on April 15; 2013. On April 20; the day after the alleged bombers were captured; David Ortiz gave a pre-game speech following a ceremony honoring the victims and the local law enforcement; in which he stated; "This is our f**king city! And nobody is going to dictate our freedom! Stay strong!" For the entirety of the season; the team wore an additional arm patch that exhibited the Red Sox "B" logo and the word "Strong" within a blue circle. The team also hung up in the dugout a custom jersey that read "Boston Strong" with the number 617; representing the city of Boston's area code. On many occasions during the season; victims of the attack and law enforcement involved were given the honor of throwing the ceremonial 1st pitch. Following their victory in the 2013 World Series; the first one clinched at home in Fenway Park since 1918; Red Sox players Jonny Gomes and Jarrod Saltalamacchia performed a ceremony during the team's traditional duck boat victory parade; in which they placed the World Series trophy and the custom 617 jersey on the Boston Marathon finish line on Boylston Street; followed by a moment of silence and the singing of "God Bless America". This ceremony helped the city "reclaim" its spirit that was lost after the bombing. Overall; the Red Sox team and organization played a role in the healing process after the tragedy; owing to the team's unifying effect on the city.The autograph includes an official PSA/DNA hologram and matching COA for authenticity purposes.
